Native Wallaby
The following advice has been received from the Secretary,
Native Affairs Branch, Darwin:
Arrangements will be made to receive Wallaby at the
Garden Point detention settlement, should his release be
effected in time to permit his accompanying the next
party of Halfcaste Children to Darwin, when transport
and escort facilities would be offering.

Sergeant Koop
Native Wallaby (In Custody)
With reference to the above inmate I have to
report that when he was in the cell prior to his conviction
I had a conservation with him about his habits etc.
Among other things he informed me that natives
Peter and George of Arltunga had pointed the bone at Paddy,
his late father. Wallaby stated that he would have to finish
these men when he was again liberated.
I entertain no doubt whatsoever that Wallaby
will attempt to carry out his intention on his release.
The Peter he refers to is at present employed
by Mr F L Cavenagh of Ambalindum Station, and is the
husband of Rosie the lubra who was the subject of his
previous assault in August last. I do not know George, but
he may also be employed at Arltunga.
In view of this native's record and the fact
that he comes of a family of wrongdoers I would suggest that
steps be taken to have him removed from this district
altogether, or otherwise dealt with.
